10 ‘Brat Green’ Rooms That Would DEFS Be Charli XCX Approved
Move over, Barbiecore. Your pink passport has expired, and we’re living in a whole new world now. Welcome to Brat summer, where everything is chaotic and that eye-searing slime green reigns supreme.
Since dropping the Brat album like a neon bomb in June, Charli XCX’s Brat green has had a chokehold on popular culture. If you think I’m exaggerating, check this: The official social media accounts of the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced train repairs using the now-ubiquitous Brat green graphic (because nothing says “your commute is about to get messy” like Brat green). Even VP Kamala Harris is riding the Brat wave, with her official campaign page on X Brat-ifying her header.
So what exactly is “Brat summer?” It’s a cultural zeitgeist of summer 2024, a neon-green middle finger to polished perfection. It’s embracing your inner party girl, turning messy into an art form, and unapologetic self-expression—from your playlist to your wardrobe to your home decor. It’s the antithesis of curated feeds and clean, beige aesthetics. It’s about embracing the mess that is your life. That pile of laundry? It’s not clutter; it’s an avant-garde sculpture representing the chaos of modern existence. Your unmade bed? A rebellious statement against societal expectations of adulting. To inspire you to live your Brat summer to the fullest, we’ve curated a list of our favorite Brat green designs. Let the green fever dream begin.
Ombré Green Dining Room
You can still embrace the energy of Brat summer in high style, case in point this elevated ombré-painted dining room in a Paris apartment designed by ELLE DECOR A-List firm Uchronia. Imagine all of the unfiltered conversations at this table with all of your Brat girls!
Lime Green Kitchen
This Brat kitchen—courtesy designer Leah Ring— is exuberantly alive. The electric lime cabinets and sky-blue walls are a rebel yell against beige conformity, while the checkered floor encourages you to dance through your morning routine…to “Von Dutch,” obviously.
Electric Chartreuse Dining Nook
This neon corner, in the apartment of designer Todd Alexander Romano, is a welcome jolt of cool. Mixing high-brow art with that zesty chartreuse backdrop keeps the volume cranked to 11.
Acid Green Kitchen Cabinets
This kitchen by ELLE DECOR A-List David Netto screams “I can host a dinner party and start a riot in the same night”—and we’re here for it! The audacious upper cabinets inject a zing of delightfully chaotic energy into an otherwise serene space, embodying the ethos of Brat summer.
Brat Green Bathroom
This space, also in Leah Ring’s California home, isn’t just a bathroom; it’s a portal to a neon-soaked dimension where self-care meets self-expression. Who needs a spa day when you can have a party in your shower?
Hyper-Green Backsplash
Brat green crashes the kitchen party in the audaciously vibrant Rome home of artist Julie Polidoro. Turns out, functional can be fantastically fun.
Grass-Colored Accessories
Charli XCX would be proud of this one. Sinking into this loud green couch, the centerpiece of ELLE DECOR A-List designer Ghislaine Viñas’s Pennsylvania home studio, is the perfect way to end a Brat summer night of partying.
Bright Green Bench
A bed built for a queen, with a bench built for a Brat. Get yourself a girl (or ELLE DECOR A-List designers like Miles Redd and David Kaihoi) who can do both!
Celery-Colored Corner
These gorgeously green cabinets in a Beverly Hills mansion designed by Gary McBournie serve up bold flavor alongside a funky lighting fixture, embracing the anything-goes charm of Brat summer—with class, of course.
Key Lime Kitchen
What’s hot? Brat summer and this lime green kitchen. Here in the spacious cooking space in the former home of Stila cosmetics founder Jeanine Lobell and actor Anthony Edwards, sleek sophistication meets Brat girl vibes. Proof you can serve good meals—and even better looks.
